.@ImagineCanada's proposal of "The fed gov't should identify prov'l, regional, local partners
as well as national fed'ns that can distribute the [$8b of] grants in a fast and efficient manner" seems out of line with grassroots character of charity. 1/ @Sean_Speer @cardusca

Giving that the fed gov't's administrative staff are already close to max capacity, using grant structure rather than matching dollars, seems neither fast, nor efficient. It also places gov't as "decider in chief" for a sector defined by voluntary giving. @cardusca @Sean_Speer 2/
Gov't's role here is to stabilize, support, and enable charitable sector, not take over the choices CDNs make in giving to charities. With the exception of the structure of fund distribution, @ImagineCanada's proposal is well worth reading and I hope the feds will listen.
A more efficient, effective, structure that can buttress @ImagineCanada's call for $8b in stabilization funding for charities can be found here: cardus.ca/research/socia… @cardusca @Sean_Speer
Tagging @kevinmilligan @KenBoessenkool who love this type of (important!) minutiae, and also the two gentlemen @HonAhmedHussen @GarnettGenuis who discussed this in the HoC yesterday. @Sean_Speer @cardusca
One more thing: the gov't program should be aimed at leveraging donors; especially foundations. Gov'ts alone won't be able to provide the stabilization that is needed. Everyone, from gov'ts, to foundations to individual donors needs to step up to support our charities. @cardusca
@threadreaderapp unroll please.
